Just traveling around this area, you'll want to fill your Instagram feed with these beautiful shots.

Here are the can't miss sites for your next trip across the pond-in no particular order.

It's one of the classic landmarks that you see in movies and automatically know that the setting is London. Although many confuse the name for the London Bridge-which is not as well recognized or as ornate-Tower Bridge is one of London's defining landmarks and has been since the late 1800s.

Located in Northern Ireland, The Dark Hedges gained even more popularity after being used as The Kingsroad on the hit television show "Game of Thrones." With so many people and buses traveling to see this famous stretch of road, the health of the trees began to be questioned and the road closed to all but agricultural and emergency vehicles. Visitors can still walk to the area from nearby parking.

Stonehenge is a fascination that has captured the curiosity of the modern age for years. But what is truly interesting to me, is that this UNESCO World Heritage Site is located off the side of a road in Amesbury surrounded by farmland. If you don't have it plugged into your GPS, you may even miss it. That's not to say the monument is not impressive, it's just that there really isn't that much else around. That also means that you can get great pictures without worrying about long lines or a fast food restaurant being in the background.

Situated in North Wales, Conwy Castle is the stuff medieval tales are made of. Well preserved with its high battlements and massive towers, it's not hard to imagine what life for those living in the castle hundreds of years ago was like.

The Cliffs of Moher are an ever-popular Irish destination-and rightfully so. The gorgeous escarpment in western Ireland draws hundreds of visitors each year and is one of Ireland's awe-inspiring natural wonders.

Many villages-like Stow-on-the-Wold and Chipping Camden-make up the idyllic area known as the Cotswolds. The Cotswolds in England are the picturesque, often cobblestone villages nestled among rolling hills and have been growing in popularity among tourists who want to get out of the metropolitan areas.

The Fab Four's 'Abbey Road' is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and what better place to for fans to commemorate the special jubilee than by traveling to the actual Abbey Road in London? This is definitely a must-see for anyone who was swept up in the British Invasion or just enjoys listening to the iconic band.

Just outside of Cork, Ireland sits Blarney Castle with its famous legend of the Blarney Stone. The exterior of the building is still in fairly good shape, and it's easy to see how so many tales could be derived from such area. Just be warned-the actual Blarney Stone is located at the very top of the castle and requires visitors to flip upside down and scoot out over the side in order for you to kiss it.

A trip to Scotland can't be considered complete without traveling north to Inverness through the Scottish Highland in an attempt to find Nessie in Loch Ness. An easy day trip from Edinburgh, visitors will be wowed by the natural landscape.

Known as the famous location of the 2018 Royal Wedding, Windsor Castle is one of the oldest and still lived in castles in England. The well-manicured landscape and preservation of the building-not to mention the prominent royal family still occasionally calling this residence home-has made this a hotspot for tourists.

My personal favorite natural landscape in Northern Ireland is Giant's Causeway. The unique geometric columns made from volcanic activity-or if you believe the local legend, the giant Finn MacCool-is an impressive sight to behold.

For literature lovers and historians alike, Stratford-Upon-Avon is a must-visit while in England. Known as Shakespeare's Birthplace, there is an actual home located in the middle of town claiming to be Shakespeare's actual 16th-century family home. Guests are invited to walk through the rooms and gardens to see what life for Shakespeare may have been like growing up.

Positioned in northwest Wales, Snowdonia National Park offers blissful views of the natural Welsh landscape. For those who would rather not hike, you can still be rewarded with magnificent views by hopping on the Snowdon Mountain Railway. On clear days at the top of Mount Snowdon you can see all the way across the sea to Ireland.

The beautiful library located at Trinity College in downtown Dublin, Ireland is something to behold in and of itself, but couple this with the famous Book of Kells dating back to the 9th century and you're in for a real treat. The library itself is two floors of ornate volumes stacked throughout the Long Room of the Old Library.

Located in the heart of London on the Thames River sits the Tower of London. Tracing its history back to the 11th century, the Tower is the setting for many a morbid story but is also one of the most important structures from historic London. Now the home of the Queen's Jewels and the famous Beefeaters, it is a must-see attraction in London.

The White Cliffs of Dover are thought to be one of Britain's most beautiful natural landscapes. Unique in color and full of World War history, this is a great place to just visit and enjoy the British coastline and seaside towns.

Ballintoy in Northern Ireland seems to be stuck in yesteryear-meant in the best way. It's the perfect place to stop for a picnic and just enjoy the coast. Nearby is the famous Carrick-A-Rede rope bridge if you're brave enough to cross it. The harbor is now famous as one of the shooting sites for "Game of Thrones," so don't be surprised if you see enthusiastic fans marching around in costume.

Located in aptly named Bath, England, the Roman Baths have stood the test of time. And although you can no longer jump in, the complex is a well-preserved and gives visitors a glimpse into what life would have been like for Roman-occupied England.

Edinburgh is a marvelous city in Scotland with so many places to see, but the absolute must would be, of course, the Edinburgh Castle. Sitting astride a now extinct volcano, the castle gives tourists magnificent views of the entire city while also semi-horrifying them at the castles extensive medieval history.

On your way to or from Southern Ireland, make sure to stop at the Rock of Cashel. Ruins of a once historic castle located in the middle of the blissful Irish countryside. Step inside the ancient fortress and learn about its extensive 1,000-year history.

Located in the capital city, Cardiff and its namesake's castle is a fundamental stop when visiting Wales. The castle has a history dating back 2,000 years but has been well-preserved. It is surrounded by a well taken care of park and arboretum-inviting guests to spend a leisurely afternoon just strolling the grounds.

Have you ever known a sightseer to visit London and not take a picture of Big Ben? Or at least stop by this iconic landmark? Even though the famed timekeeper has fallen silent until 2021 due to repairs, it is still a sight to behold.

A World Heritage Site and historic ruin dating back to the time of Roman-occupied England, Hadrian's Wall may not look like anything more than a cobbled-together wall lining part of the English countryside. But looking at its date of origin, the wall is actually a remarkable feat of engineering for its time. Separating the highest reaches of the Roman Empire from the Barbarians to the north.

If you're any kind of Harry Potter or railroad enthusiast, the Glenfinnan Viaduct is an obligatory stop on the British Isle. There is a nearby car park where you can stop and walk to the famous viaduct, or you can be more adventurous and take a Jacobite steam train that runs across the route.

A famed Star Wars filming location, Skellig Michael is an island off the western coast of Ireland near County Kerry. Well-known for its rocky outcrop where monks somehow managed to build a monastery some 600 years ago. The island is now inhabited by gulls, puffins and other birds in the hundreds.
